This is not a regression.

This is a website bug. They use swfobject to check for the presence of Flash, find that it is not present, and call the function "showFlashError". This function is supposed to show a page-specific "please download Flash" div, but that hasn't been added to the DOM yet so it does nothing.

Could you please file those separate bugs? Bonus for making reduced testcases instead of relying on external websites which do all kinds of detection.

Note that loading PDFs directly without Acrobat installed should not show a missing-plugin item and should just offer download the PDF.

bug 805469, bug 805468 filed.
pdf's issue needs further investigation - bug 805463
I'll work on reduced testcases later.
